As we head into the month of June, our appreciation goes out to the collaborative nature of our educators at Futuro Verde. Do you know about the work that our music department has done this year after the unexpected illness and departure of our beloved music teacher, Oscar Leal Mendez?
Since March, Futuro Verde has been fortunate to have an incredible long-term substitute heading up our music program. And what an impact José Arturo Calvo González has made in such a short amount of time! From designing interactive and meaningful music classes for all grade levels to refining translation skills with our 3rd language students in secondary classes to his biggest job catching IB music students up to their timeline for their music studies, Arturo has been working so very hard! And, in his spare time, he has made his mark with individual and group guitar lessons for students and adults. Arturo has also been working hard to collaborate with his colleagues at Futuro Verde, with our IB coordinator, Stuart Millar, and with incoming, permanent music teacher, Irene Jover and, in so doing, has assured a seamless transition between permanent music teachers at Futuro Verde.
As our permanent hire for the position, Irene Jover, arrives at the end of this month, please take some time to thank Arturo and to welcome Irene. Our children are always enriched by the many talented and loving teachers who bring their expertise and joy to our school for short or long periods of time and we appreciate them for their time, their dedication and their commitment to keeping our students and their learning and development front and center at all times!
